A Place To Bury Strangers

DETAILS

MORE INFO

I first saw Dead Moon perform around 1992. Dead Moon was my friends favorite band and soon to become one of mine. It was the first of many shows he booked for them and I was lucky enough to get to know and play along side Fred, Toody and Andrew. They played before a band and proceeded to usurp the room with their straight up, stripped back, raw honesty and unbelievably great songs. Since joining A Place To Bury Strangers, we haven't recorded a single cover, until now. I like that APTBS has never made carbon copy versions of covers and has always made each song their own. When Oliver came up with the idea to do Strange Moon, it sounded like such an exciting and interesting project. A Place To Bury Strangers doing Dead Moon? Hell yeah, lets do it!! — Dion Lunadon, APTBS

Captain Beefheart

DETAILS

MORE INFO

Deluxe 180 Gram vinyl LP on purple wax with gatefold sleeve. One of the highlights of Captain Beefheart’s 1968 tour of the UKwas the concert at Frank Freeman’s Dance Club in Kidderminster. Fortunately legendary DJ John Peel brought his tape recorder and recorded four brilliant numbers from the show which appear on this album along with four other tracks from that era. Pride of place on the front cover of the LP goes to one of the recently discovered 1968 screen printed posters for the Frank Freeman’s Beefheart show. With Beefheart coming from a country where band names like Quicksilver Messenger Service and Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen were de rigeur, when Peel told Captain Beefheart he was driving him to a concert venue in Kidderminster called Frank Freeman’s Dance Club , Beefheart said “What a groovy name” thinking it was in the same hippy west coast vibe as the aforementioned bands. Peel explained it wasn’t a groovy name but simply a Dance Club run by Frank Freeman.

Cooper

DETAILS

MORE INFO

SIDE A- I WANNA LOVE YOU SIDE B- BABY I LOVE YOU -- COOPER LIVE AT THE HISTORIC STAR THEATER Hot new artist, Cooper, and her twelve piece soul band have a reputation for rocking the house. This particular house happens to be the historical Star Theater in downtown Portland Oregon. Built in 1911, the theater has a rich and seedy past. Known for many years as a house of ill-repute it hosted burlesque in the 40s (regularly featuring such legendary dancers as Tempest Storm, Candy Renee and Arabella Andre), adult films in the 60s, and an all nude revue in the 70s and 80s. Ultimately the building was shut down and left empty after being busted for housing a ''modern day speakeasy''. In 2011, 100 years after erection, the building was remodeled to look as it did in its heyday. The old neon marquee was rebuilt and the interior fully restored. The Historic Star Theater now hosts live concerts, variety shows, and of course burlesque. Cooper cut her performance teeth as a burlesque singer in Portland and jumped at the chance to play a show at this beautiful venue with a sordid past in the City of Roses.

COOPER It has been a year and a half since Cooper packed up her VW van in Portland, OR and made the quest to Nashville, TN. The flame haired songstress had paid her dues in Portland playing in several bands, working two jobs to pay for college, and moonlighting as a burlesque performer at the wildly popular Sinferno Cabaret downtown. It was time to take a shot at her lifetime dream of recording her songs and forming a road band in music city. After months of knocking on doors, typical hard luck, and sleeping on an air mattress in a 60's hotel room-turned studio apartment, Cooper was able to make some headway. She assembled a twelve piece soul band in both Nashville and Portland and began rehearsing both. She started writing the record she had always dreamed of making, drawing from her love of old Soul and Motown records and her 60's and 70's Rock n Roll influences. Cooper played her first gig in Nashville opening for the Queen of Rock and Roll herself: Wanda Jackson, at a birthday bash held for fashion icon Manuel. Her music caught the ear of music industry notables and she recorded her full length album at one of Nashville's top recording studios: The Tracking Room.

SIDE A- I WANNA LOVE YOU A retro nod to the likes of Ike and Tina Tuner, ''I Wanna Love You'' packs a punch. Sprinkled with soulful snaps and groovy back up vocals, the song sneaks up on the listener like a sugary spoonful of turpentine. Cooper's buttery vocals glide over the melody, then suddenly blast into a wild fit of raspy funk and sexy abandon. The thick bass line holds down the groove while the horns pour over the top. This dynamic and explosive tune fills the beautiful arched ceiling of the Star Theater and reflects off of the excited crowd lucky enough to have been there that night. The mix is sweet and is the type of music that was made to go straight to vinyl.

SIDE B- BABY I LOVE YOU Cooper covers this Aretha Franklin superhit with a tenacity not many young women can muster. Her powerful voice is soaked in soul and belts the tune with a voluptuous ease. This live recording is warm and full. The band is smokin' hot and includes a ripping tenor sax solo as well as a funky slap bass breakdown. Cooper's fiery vocal personality sets the recording ablaze and leaves the listener reaching for a cigarette, or at least a cold drink.

DETAILS

MORE INFO

First domestic reissue of Australian group's debut LP. "In 2012, Australia continues it's recent (the past 6-7 years anyway, beginning with the rise of Eddy Current Suppression Ring) trend of producing quality output and this album certainly doesn't let the standard slip!

Cuntz are four young Melbourne misfits playing a brand of sludge-y noise rock, whilst maintaining a clear punk ethos and "fuck you" attitude. A friend of mine recently described Cuntz as "evil". I hear Flipper-esque barbs in the lead singer Ben Mackie's delivery, whilst the sounds remind me of '80s Melbourne noise miscreants Venom P. Stinger. These young guys that make up Cuntz were not even born when these two bands were (originally) around. Topping it off, and my personal favourite distinguishing feature is the understated guitar shards behind it all, never over-bearing, but traces of the The Birthday Party abound. There's also some synth parts played on a few tracks, which only adds to the feelings of a down-trodden existence that I attempt to explain below.

Is it any coincidence then, with comparisons to Flipper, Venom P. Stinger and The Birthday Party, that the subject matter of Aloha seems to focus firmly on the seedier aspects of society and life in general? Tracks like opener "Homeless" with it's slacker vibe (a common theme present here) and downer tone is never more obvious than "Mate, I don't have a dollar/You just asked me 10 minutes ago/I don't have any spare change/Only to make a phone call?/Only to make a fucking phone call?!" Substance use and abuse is another common topic with "Over Again" (One more line and it's over again/Just another pill and it's over again), "Casual Drinker" (It's a career/Cheque or savings), "Meth" (Crystal methamphetamine/In my eyes and in my dreams) and "Yum Yum Yum" (I'm hungry/No money/Junkies and scum). Gambling addiction is also tackled in "Punt". Strangely, this whole downer and depressing assault on one's sense is brought up a notch by the silly antics apparent on album closer "Birthday".

Having supposedly already written the follow up album to 'Aloha' and from hearing those tracks in a live setting, I can already see the progression in songwriting by Cuntz. No doubt, once the second LP is released and comparisons to Total Control are made, folk will be scrambling to find a copy of this debut, but at just 300 vinyl copies pressed, I imagine those will be long gone..." - user snapstruly (rateyourmusic.com)

El Michels Affair

DETAILS

MORE INFO

"Led by saxophonist/organist Leon Michels and producer/engineer Jeff Silverman, El Michels Affair began as a loose collaboration of session musicians (including members of top-selling acts Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings, the Budos Band, and Antibalas) that looked to blend some of the vibrant quality of soundtrack records with the recording aesthetic of early reggae, and the rawness of 60’s rock--they called it ‘Cinematic Soul.’ This delicate balance was evident on their 2005 debut album Sounding Out the City, which earned critical acclaim and acted as the inaugural full-length release for Michels and Silverman’s burgeoning label Truth & Soul (also the moniker for the duo as a production team).

The buzz generated from the album and a series of moderately successful 7” vinyl singles from Truth & Soul led to an invitation by Toyota’s Scion division for El Michels Affair to accompany the rapper Raekwon of Wu-Tang Clan for a promotional concert. As avid Wu-Tang fans, not only were the band leaders thrilled with the opportunity, but Michels found that the ‘Cinematic Soul’ sound was consistent with the moods of RZA’s gritty soundscapes on the classic Wu-Tang releases. The concert was such as success, El Michels Affair went on to play several more concerts nationwide backing Raekwon and other members of the Clan, and the shows led to the recording of two smash 7” singles featuring instrumental reinterpretations of the Wu-Tang classic songs “C.R.E.A.M.” and “Bring Da Ruckus.” The singles combined to sell an extraordinary amount of over 7,000 units worldwide, and their success led to a contract in 2007 with indie hip hop powerhouse Fat Beats Records to record an entire album of Wu-Tang Clan interpolations entitled Enter the 37th Chamber."

* Officlal Record Store Day 2013 Exclusive* Limited edition, one time, hand-numbered pressing of 4,000 * Psychedelic swirl vinyl* Remastered from original tapes* Fully authorized by Roky* Exact reproduction of original sleeve with OBI card announcing upcoming reissues of the solo albums

Record Store Day is big news at LITA HQ, and not least because this year it marks the start of another brilliant, major reissue campaign. To celebrate the forthcoming release of the first three solo albums by 13th Floor Elevators man Roky Erickson, there’s a faithful reissue of the snarling Mine Mine Mind 7", remastered from the original tapes.

Presented in an exclusive, hand-numbered edition, the single comes in an exact reproduction of the original picture sleeve and is pressed on psychedelic swirl vinyl, exactly as it should be.

Erickson was just 15 when he wrote “You’re Gonna Miss Me”, the song that epitomized the garage rock movement and inspired punks, rockers and noisemakers ever since. In another life, Erickson and his Austin-based band could have been as big as any of the ‘60s legends still making music today. But life took Erickson down a meandering path.

Indeed, he wound up writing “Mine Mine Mind” on his release from the Houston psychiatric hospital where he was institutionalized for almost a decade following a diagnosis with paranoid schizophrenia in 1968.

Erickson’s experiences in the hospital proved to be fertile inspiration for his music – on leaving, he formed the group Roky Erickson and The Aliens and channelled his experiences into the 1980 album The Evil One, from which “Mine Mine Mind”, with its disturbed lyrics about “goblins, demons and gremlins”, and B-side “Bloody Hammer”, is taken.

In the coming year, Light In The Attic will release a number of Erickson’s early solo masterworks, all expanded and lavishly packaged on CD, LP & Digital. Beginning with The Evil One, holding a lens to this unique artist beloved of Sonic Youth, Spacemen 3, Jack White and many more.

Husker Du

DETAILS

MORE INFO

In August of 1980, Grant Hart, Bob Mould, and Greg Norton booked time at Minneapolis’ Blackberry Way Studio to record what would become their debut 7”. A deal with Twin/Tone was thought to be in the bag but was derailed by the fall 1980 signing of the Replacements— Hüsker Dü’s then-chief rival. Spurned on by Twin/Tone’s rejection, a scathing version of “Amusement” was thrashed out live at Duffy’s, and plans were made for a four song 10”, with Blackberry Way cuts “Statues,” “Writer’s Cramp,” and “Let’s Go Die” making up the balance. The enormous start up cost for a debut release forced a format change, and in January of 1981 Reflex Records #A, “Amusement” b/w “Statues,” found its way to market. The single would find two pressings over the next few years, but fall out of print as the band’s style changed from Metal Box-esque post-punk to Los Angeles-inspired hardcore.

For Record Store Day 2013, Numero will issue “Amusement” b/w “Statues” and the studio alternates “Writer’s Cramp” and “Let’s Go Die” as a 2x7”. The Blackberry Way cuts have been remastered from a first generation sub-master (the originals have long been lost), while “Amusement” was cut from the original live board tape. Grant Hart’s Fake Name Graphix artwork remains untouched, beefed up by a 28pt board gatefold jacket. Pressed in an edition of 4000, this deluxe reissue should satiate a new generation of Hüsker lovers. For at least another 33 years, anyhow.

Page McConnell

DETAILS

MORE INFO

All new music, all instrumental album by Page McConnell, who is also known as the keyboardist for the seminal rock band Phish. This is the first album Page has released since 2005 and the initial distributed release on his own label, Keyed Records. Side musicians include guitarist Adam Zimmon, bassist Reed Mathis and drummer Gabe Jarrett. The record was engineered and mixed by John Siket and mastered by Fred Kevorkian.

Last year, the vinyl reissue of Mercury Rev’s cherished 1998 album, Deserter’s Songs, kicked off our new Modern Classics Recordings imprint. We couldn’t have found a more apt beginning – Deserter’s Songs has lost none of its charm in the 15 years since its release.

Out of step with the times even when it was released in 1998, Deserter’s Songs has all the hallmarks of a lost classic. Except it wasn’t lost at all – it was lauded by everyone from hip-young-thing-chasing NME to the more distanced likes of Mojo magazine. Retrospectively, Pitchfork placed it in their Top 100 albums of the 1990s.

Now, we are digging into the album’s archive with Deserted Songs, a collection of outtakes from the Deserter’s Songs sessions, all of which are new to vinyl. Knowing how we roll, this is no standard package. Pressed on 180-gram vinyl, housed in a hand-numbered, old school ‘tip-on’-style gatefold jacket, it has insert notes by Mercury Rev’s Jonathan Donahue & Grasshopper and comes with unseen photos from the original Deserter’s Songs photo sessions. The special edition of 2,000 is pressed on white and clear vinyl.

Set to be one of our official Record Store Day 2013 releases, this is a special package. But this is special music too, living in a magical, twilit netherworld somewhere between fairytale and nightmare. In these demos, offcuts and alternate and early versions of Deserter’s Songs tracks, we hear the bits in between the grooves of the original album. Where Deserter’s Songs is an album of grandiose proportions, Deserted Songs strips back to the songs’ fragile hearts.

Intended as the band’s swan song, Deserter’s Songs was made with utter abandon. That sense of freedom permeates these demos, some of which are throwaway instrumentals, some embryonic versions of iconic songs. And in hearing these tracks, we find that the seeds of Deserter’s Songs were sown many years before the album’s release – there’s a version of “Goddess On A Hiway” recorded on home cassette in 1989.

Of course, the band didn’t bow out after Deserter’s Songs. Instead, the album propelled them to a new level of fame, and the group would go on to make plenty more strange, beautiful, dreamlike music. They allowed themselves a brief pause to look back in 2011, when the album was reissued on CD with a bonus disc featuring the Deserted Songs tracks in their original, digital release. That summer, they played Deserter’s Songs in full to wowed audiences across Europe. Then they promptly stopped looking back and moved on.

But reading Grasshopper’s mystical liner notes, the album – and the tracks that became Deserted Songs – clearly hold a special place in the hearts of the band members.

“As we pulled these Deserted Songs to the surface…,” he writes, “whatever had been holding us hostage cracked and withered in the blistering power of this music, and these songs allowed us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time… It is the magic of the vibrating universe; the music of the ‘Angels’.”1.

* Official Record Store Day 2013 Exclusive* Limited edition of 4,000, hand-numbered copies* Exact reproduction of original fold-out newsprint sleeve* First time available in U.S.* NOT AVAILABLE IN THE UK

“I’m not the same as when I began/I will not be treated as property.”

For Record Store Day 2013, Light In The Attic is set to issue one of the 20th century’s pivotal singles: the debut UK 7” by Public Image Ltd., never before available in the U.S.

In 1976, Johnny Rotten set the agenda for punk music’s year zero with ‘Anarchy In The UK’, a song that summed up the band’s spirit, sound and attitude in one shocking package. Two years later, The Sex Pistols were in tatters, but Rotten was as unsentimental as you’d hope. He reclaimed his real name – John Lydon – and set about forming a band whose very identity kicked against the media manipulating and manipulated Pistols – his new group was Public Image Ltd.PiL were a very distinct prospect from the Pistols, founded with a greater thought for rhythm, and with a sound that turned the page from snarling punk to a new racket informed by reggae and world music.

But that’s not to say Lydon’s new outfit lacked vitriol. ‘Public Image’ hits out against the exploitative nature of former manager Malcolm McLaren, against the notorious British tabloid press, who never gave Lydon an easy ride, and against his own Sex Pistols bandmates.“[The Sex Pistols] never bothered to listen to what I was fucking singing, they don’t even know the words to my songs,” Lydon has said. “They never bothered to listen, it was like, ’Here’s a tune, write some words to it.’ So I did. They never questioned it. I found that offensive, it meant I was literally wasting my time, ‘cause if you ain’t working with people that are on the same level then you ain’t doing anything.”

It’s a debut single that operated as a theme song and a manifesto: “…my entrance/My own creation/My grand finale/My goodbye,” as the lyrics had it.For this one time pressing, we are re-releasing this landmark single in an exact reproduction of its original ‘newspaper’ sleeve mocking the infamous ‘red top’ tabloids (its ‘stories’ included “The Girl Who Drove Me To Tea, by Donut’s wife Carol,” Donut being drummer Jim Walker). The B-side, “The Cowboy Song”, included here, revels in Lydon’s newfound sense of freedom that he found with bassist Jah Wobble, drummer Walker and guitarist Keith Levine. It is, essentially, the sound of four people letting loose in a studio – and to hell with the listener. They played it – twice – at their debut gig.

LITA’s exploration of Public Image’s catalog, expressly for the U.S. market, will continue later this year, with the re-release of the group’s debut album First Issue, from which ‘Public Image’ was taken, in an expanded, 2xCD and Single LP edition with various bonus material including an almost hour-long audio interview circa 1978.

Satellites

DETAILS

MORE INFO

01 was originally given a limited release, available only through Rough Trade shops. It sold out within a few weeks and became something of an underground hit. The album is now being given a full scale release, with some fine reviews already coming its way. Satellites is in fact not a band but one man, Englishman Johnny Vic who lives in Copenhagen. On the album he has created a full band sound, playing all of the guitar, piano, strings and horns himself. The nine tracks give us a good idea of Vic’s talents, with well crafted songs delivered in a deep and expressive voice. The vocals are generally the dominant factor, but the mix of piano and subtle electronic sounds create an always interesting sound. The songs are generally slow paced, a languid style with lush and multi layered backing. Yet occasionally there are sweeping moments as the music grows in big, almost choral, phases where the vocal harmonies and instrumentation builds suddenly to create something grand. The massive ending to Calm Of The Water is perhaps the most stunning example, a beautiful effect created with a subtle bass line running through it. In The City begins the album with a folky guitar and rich, warm vocals. The track soon builds into a much more expansive pop song, a piano driven ode to alienation. It works well, the multi tracked vocals giving real depth to the music. Railway Line comes next, its gentle piano opening backing the passionate vocal delivery. Again it rises and swells into something memorable. While the opening two tracks are perhaps the best on the album, there are others worthy of note too. Where Love Lies Bleeding is a gorgeous love song with impassioned vocals and some fine guitar work towards the end. A Boy Cries Wolf features far more guitar than most of the tracks, and stands out for this reason, as well as another fine and emotional vocal delivery. The closing Sale Of The Century starts slowly, the piano over an electronic him. The vocals kick in, slow and poignant, as the track builds. It’s an interesting ending to the album, leaving a feeling of weariness yet of accomplishment at the same time. At over eight minutes long it perhaps could have been edited down a little, but that’s being picky.Johnny Vic has created a real buzz with this debut album. It has a grand sweeping feel to it, yet there are moments of stylish introspection in there too. It’s well worth having a listen to, if only to see what all of the fuss is about. And if you like it then you won’t have too long to wait for the follow up. The next album, unsurprisingly called Satellites.02, will be released in March.

Rex project Cat Black (Wizard Hat), one of the last freak folk productions from T.

Each are interpreted in an intriguingly reserved, yet unflaggingly explosive style by San Francisco's favorite son.

DETAILS

MORE INFO

On October 17th, 2011, the Smoke Fairies backed by members of Blitzen Trapper (Subpop Records) recorded Volume 6 of the Upstairs at United series of all analog recordings in the historic United Record Pressing plant. True to the Upstairs at United series, each song was recorded in a single take direct to ¼ inch tape then cut at 45 RPM for the ultimate listening experience.

''The Fairies are Jessica Davies and Katherine Blamire, two lasses from Chichester, UK who sing and play acoustic guitars. The duo's voices and instruments harmonize in haunting ways that evoke the ethereal spirits from which they take their band's name.'' - Steve Horowitz (popmatters.com)

The addition of Blitzen Trapper's Erik Menteer (B-3 & percussion) and Brian Koch (drums) along with Martin H. Gonzalez on bass add a unique element to the haunting guitar and vocal combos of Katherine Blamire & Jessica Davies that we've come to love as the Smoke Fairies.

Marketing videos are being created by Luke Norby featuring footage from their session. Luke has developed quite a following from his ongoing tour diaries documenting Blitzen Trapper on the road.

Recorded at home on a 4-track by The Thermals themselves, these no-to-lo-fi versions of "The Sword By My Side", "Born To Kill", "You Will Find Me" and "The Sunset" perfectly convey all the epic angst and homicidal glee these songs have to offer, without all the pesky trappings of a proper studio recording. Saddle Creek and The Thermals thank you for supporting Record Store Day, and for not re-selling this single for less than $20.00 on ebay. Limited edition of 1,000.

DETAILS

MORE INFO

We Are Fine is the third single from Tramp, the new album from Sharon Van Etten, and features a guest performance from Zach Condon of Beirut. The shimmering sound of Sharon Van Etten’s Jagjaguwar debut album, Tramp, both defies and illuminates the unsteadiness of a life in flux. Throughout the 14 months of scattered recording sessions, Van Etten was without a home -- crashing with friends and storing her possessions between varied locations. The only constant in Van Etten's life during this time was spent in Aaron Dessner's garage studio.

Ever travelled in time and space wearing headphones? The latest album from Light In The Attic’s on-going collaboration with Bangkok’s ZudRangMa label promises to help you do just that.

Following the celebrated Thai Funk: ZudRangMa compilations exploring Molam music from the ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s, it’s time for an in-depth look at one of the architects of the sound. Theppabutr Productions: The Man Behind The Molam Sound 1972-75 issues, for the first time outside of Thailand, the work of pioneering producer Theppabutr Satirodchompu, the man credited as the creator of the modern Molam sound.

Those uninitiated in Molam (or "Mor Lam”, as it’s sometimes known) should probably get acquainted with Thai Funk Volumes 1 and 2, like, right now. But as time is short, let us say it was the exciting, electric music born of the age-old folk music traditions of northeast Thailand in the latter half of the 20th century. It’s the sound of a corner of a far eastern nation carving its way through the musical shifts sweeping the west while keeping one eye on the past – and the resulting groove-laden vinyl gems sound just as fresh and dynamic today as they did decades ago.

Theppabutr’s contribution to Molam is almost immeasurable – he signed hundreds of Molam artists and recorded even more. Here, acts from his stable including Roied Petchsiam, Chanpen Sirithep and Theppabutr’s singing wife, Baneyn Rakkaen, showcase his heavy, deep and raw sound, colored by native instruments including the haunting, church organ-like khaen and the driving riffs of the phin.

Like the Thai Funk compilations, Theppabutr Productions: The Man Behind The Molam Sound 1972-75 is the result of some serious crate-digging by the ZudRangMa label’s own Maft Sai, who scours used record bins and street markets in Bangkok and beyond. Beyond the label, Sai is a DJ responsible for the Bangkok Paradise club, which brought Theppabutr back to the stage in February 2012 with his group Wong Dontri Molam Theppabutr. Thanks to Sai, the wider world is now privy to a rich seam of Thai pop, garage rock, funk, and disco from a selection of artists largely unknown outside of Southeast Asia.

A record label and shop with a strong desire to find old gems and and present them as beautiful reissues, ZudRangMa and Light In The Attic clearly share a similar ethos despite the thousands of miles separating them. In their native Thailand, ZudRangMa’s CD issues of these compilations are housed in a limited, hand-stitched soft cloth sleeve. Not to be outdone, we issued our complementary vinyl editions as epic 2xLP packages complete with gatefold sleeves, vintage album art, lovingly remastered audio and four varieties of the beautiful hand-stitched, printed and colored cloth outer sleeves.

Theppabutr Productions: The Man Behind The Molam Sound 1972-75 continues that tradition, appearing here on vinyl for the first time and issued with an old school tip-on gatefold sleeve, a download card for all tracks and a foldout poster. This compilation opens a musical door that few in the western world have peered through before. Pop on the phones and travel back to a Thai concert hall sometime in the early ‘70s – it’s time to meet the Berry Gordy of Bangkok.

Domestic reissue of Chilean group's debut LP. WatchOut! is the lovechild proof that Os Mutantes and Popol Vuh had an elicit rendezvous in mid-70s Santiago. This group blends krauty synth textures with a Tropicalian style not so successfully crafted since the 70s. Latin rhythms, fuzzy, wah-wah guitar leads, and melodic organ patterns are sewn sweetly together to create a quilt of psychedelic pop that would comfort even the coldest Brazilian psych aficionado. Their "Flashbacker" LP was one of the best unheard records of 2011. It's seven tracks of 60s Brazilian psych, 70s German hypnotism, 80s UK fuzz pop, and Indian raga influenced jams are seemlessly and brilliantly woven together.

The White Mandingos

DETAILS

MORE INFO

"Celebrated West Coast rhyme-slayer Murs, legendary Bad Brains bassist Darryl Jenifer and ego trip founder Sacha Jenkins SHR are THE WHITE MANDINGOS. The band's output combines the collective musical experiences of these three men who hail from three distinct towns: Washington DC, Los Angeles and New York City. ""As someone who has written about music for years, it's easy for me to try to categorize our music and say that it sounds like this-meets-that, BUT, if you twist my arm, i might say that it's kinda like heavy negro spiritual..."" says Jenkins, who, as a scribe, has written for many a music publication. ""And I will also say that Murs is one of the strongest writers I've ever had the pleasure of working with in any medium and his voice can command a thousand armies. As for Darryl, founder of my favorite band of all time, his passion for, and knowledge of such a broad range of musics makes his touch on this project deadly.""

Bass, guitar, drums, vocals, hip hop, hardcore and dusted R&B come together to push a debut LP that takes the strengths of the band's members into fresh, uncharted territories.

"As a fan of both artists, I feel honored to be a part of such a historic project," Jenkins adds. "The truth about the White Mandingos is, people who have heard it have had strong reactions to the songs--weather they dig them or not. And any time music can touch a nerve or a consciousness, that sound is on to something."Mandingo Rally" is the first physical offering from The White Mandingos, featured on a limited edition Black/White split 7" exclusive for Record Store Day 2013."
